Chapter 70 The Beautiful White Priestess
Zhao Lang and the remaining guards of his team had just carried several wounded soldiers and were running towards the main force of the giant insects.
When he turned around, he lost control of his neck and recklessly turned back.
He saw the appearance of the "Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox" and stumbled for a moment.
But luckily he stumbled and fell down in a sorry state, and a golden bullet shot out from above his head!
The golden bullet was fired at Yu Shuang.
Qi An and Yu Shuang stood almost side by side.
Behind them were giant insects that looked like demonic flowers, and on both sides were flames that burned ever closer and soared into the sky.
The two of them raised their guns and fired, oblivious to their own mortality, and deliberately provoked the White Priest.
The White Priest was even more irritable than they had imagined. He unsurprisingly fired two large golden bullets at the two of them, each one a blood-red hue amidst the gold – clearly a high-quality, extra-large version!
The White Priest also moved slightly, drifting like smoke and mist towards Zhao Lang, who had not yet been able to stand up again!
Qi An and Yu Shuang had already stepped back with one foot. As soon as the two "fox tails" moved and golden light shone, they turned around and ran backward!
It wasn't a run, it was a pounce. The two of them leaped into the heart of the giant insect "demon flower," and then struggled to jump out from within it.
Two high-quality, extra-large golden bullets, enough to burn down two giant trees, struck the giant insect's tentacles directly.
The two holes were as large as large bowls, melting away flesh and bone together, and golden flames suddenly burst forth, merging into one!
The ground trembled, and the petals of the demonic flower danced wildly in agony.
It was shrinking; it had already begun to shrink when the White Priest appeared, preparing to dive back underground!
This is a mutated Wisps, and it knows that its enormous body will only be accidentally injured in the battle against the White Priest.
However, the soft steel ropes that the team carried for climbing cliffs and tall buildings had been grabbed by the long-gun-wielding boy and the burly man, one end of each rope, wrapped around the ropes, and then pulled tightly with tremendous force!
It was like a group of snakes being strangled by seven inches.
The tighter the grip on the ground, the tighter it becomes when the giant insect moves, preventing it from retracting into the ground for the time being.
It will only take a moment; the giant insect has already burst into flames.
The flames caused by these golden bullets were significantly hotter and harder to extinguish than ordinary fires. The flames caused by the previous golden bullets falling were inevitably connected by human intervention, engulfing the area in flames!
As a result, Qi An and Yu Shuang were caught in the tentacles and immediately tried their best to break free. The person pulling the steel cable only held on for 5 seconds after they broke free before letting go and retreating.
The flames have already devoured a demonic flower and are about to engulf the entire forest.
As for Zhao Lang, who was a little further south and truly felt that he was about to be swallowed up by pollution, or by that mythical biophysical concept, he felt as if there was an "earthquake" in front of him!
That was just the sound of gunfire.
Zhao Lang had his eyes closed, but from the sound and the rate of fire, he could already imagine the model of the gun.
The heaviest handheld machine gun, with a 6-barrel revolver, can fire 2,000-6,000 rounds per minute, enough to turn a sturdy new concrete house into a honeycomb in one minute!
The White Priest wasn't riddled with bullets; it was merely forced back by the hail of bullets, attempting to leap behind the gunman.
Behind the gunman was another person, as if they had anticipated it, as if they knew in advance when and where the White Priest would leap and land.
He fired a rocket, which hit the White Priest who had just landed and was leaping up again, blasting him into the air!
The fireball that exploded in the air also made the person who fired the rocket flinch. He raised his hand to cover his face and retreated quickly, but still vomited a mouthful of blood.
However, he turned around, grabbed Su Qingran who had fallen while running, supported Zhuang Xiao, and ran wildly north.
The man carrying the machine gun also helped Zhao Lang up. The five of them bypassed the golden flame flower and headed north to join the main force!
The main force has grown significantly, now consisting of more than three teams.
When the White Priest emerged from the flames of the explosion, his skin was covered in burn marks, and several of his "fox tails" broke off and regenerated.
As it roared and leaped out of the sea of fire, instantly pouncing behind Qi An at the very back, the spear-wielding youth twisted his body and stepped forward to thrust!
On the other side, another person turned around and smoothly touched the gun barrel.
Lightning crackled across the spear, and the tip seemed to spew forth purple flames. However, the moment the white priest was touched, the insect froze in mid-air!
This was incredibly powerful, even more so than a rocket explosion.
The White Priest fell, the spear tip not stopping, and slammed down, lightning flashing again, the White Priest's long insect tail trembling wildly, and smoke billowing out!
It was incapacitated for a full 5 seconds!
The powerful creature lay limp on the ground, strangely elongated and alluring in shape. Its beautiful human eyes seemed to be in disbelief, widening as its dark pupils slashed at the human whose fingertips were crackling with electricity.
The spear-wielding youth, Qi An, and many others in the group, filled with despair and panic, all stared wide-eyed at that person.
Teams from South China responded and came to the rescue!
Qiao Zheng carried Zhuang Xiao on his back, while his teammates dragged a huge machine gun. Although the South China Squad was attacked on the way and arrived a little late, they didn't waste a single second.
Everyone quickly assessed the battlefield situation and, under decisive orders, rushed directly into the battlefield.
The person who gave the order, Feng Xu, even managed to stun a white priest for 5 seconds with a single move!
No one dared to waste those precious 5 seconds.
The spear tip, flashing with purple flames, was held upright, dragging the spear as if dissecting something, its tip pointing straight down, piercing down the "Heavenly Fox's" neck!
Green blood burst forth, and the lightning immediately weakened. Both of them retreated rapidly!
But poison gas shells, man-portable rocket launchers, howitzers, aconite armor-piercing shells...
All the ranged weapons that people still had were thrown at that one point of shimmering white light, without any cost!
This was like a mortal's carnival of killing gods. Mortals dared not approach, and while attacking, they kept retreating, trying to suppress the "god" on the grass that was already soaked in green blood.
Before and after it, the raging flames will also devour it; that is the great power of nature, which is irresistible to both mortals and myths!
Suddenly, a fox tail stretched out from the fire and smoke, piercing directly through the chest of the South China squad member carrying the machine gun!
A fox tail bloomed like a flower from the back of the team member, and several golden bullets shot out from each of the bullets that split into fox tails!
Even though the golden bullet has become much smaller, only the size of a soybean, its power is still enough to penetrate a person's flesh and blood and melt a vital internal organ!
Qi An kicked Qiao Zheng, who was still coughing up blood, to the ground, and then shifted his body to block Zhuang Xiao.
The battlefield is cone-shaped, with the White Priest at the apex, and all attacking team members spread out in an arc.
All the wounded and the purifiers were behind the arc, seizing every moment to suppress the rising and surging anomalies!
The size of soybeans shot out from the arc-shaped gap. Qi An kicked Qiao Zheng to the ground, causing him to dodge one, while he used his back to shield Zhuang Xiao and took the hit himself!
Her body lurched forward slightly from the pain and impact, but she regained her balance after only a few inches. She drew her knife with her other hand and stabbed it into the flesh on her back!
Qiao Zheng's eyes widened!
To remove a bullet by cutting through flesh?
This Dr. Qi, whom I've long admired, is so decisive... so resolute and steadfast?
However, due to the angle, Qi An was actually gouging out a piece of flesh from a large tentacle.
The tentacles hadn't grown many nerves yet, but she cut off the fleshy bud that was trapping the golden bullet at the root, just like cutting off a polyp from under a fingernail. Because the piece of flesh was so big, the pain was doubled!
The mangled back looked so horrific that several gazes froze.
Although Zhuang Xiao, who was only half conscious, couldn't see the back, she grabbed Qi An's arm and cried with tears streaming down her face.
"Sister Qi..."
"Don't be afraid!" Qi An said, "Look at the sky."
A booming sound came from the sky, like rolling thunder approaching the battlefield.
The strong winds whipped up by the propellers swirled the towering flames into vague tornado shapes. It was the helicopters flying low; two armed helicopters appeared over the forest!
A great battle, a revenge battle of the Fallen Insects, which seemed to destroy the human advantage of the previous two days and directly brought the casualties of the invading humans to a terrible 50%!
Fragile human-made machines are afraid of even colliding with birds in the air, let alone colliding with bird-insects!
But how could the human warriors not retaliate during this great battle? And how could the Fallen Insects not suffer heavy casualties?
At least the bird-like insects, and many mutated wisdom insects with ranged attack capabilities, were killed in large numbers.
Helicopters can fly into the forest.
The white priest on the ground was splitting apart, either from being struck or from splitting apart even before the rain of attacks landed.
Each piece of its flesh seems to be able to transform into an independent individual, each individual possessing the ability to attack from a distance, and each individual darting around as fast as a wolf!
Dozens or even hundreds of clones, like fleas scattered in fright on the back of the earth, scattered towards every team member on the ground.
Without even touching them, these team members, who have been fighting for too long and whose average contamination level is close to 60%, will undergo a large-scale mutation!
Everyone had already holstered their guns, or even thrown them away, along with all their heavy supplies, and were running north at breakneck speed.
The only thing that wasn't abandoned was the burden... Yu Shuang cursed, but she didn't abandon the burden either.
She carried two large bags, Tang Long carried three, and Qiao Zheng wanted to abandon Zhuang Xiao, but he was afraid that Qi An, who was right next to him, would stab him to death with that meat-cutting knife.
They fell behind, and it was the "fleas'" turn to rain down golden bullets like raindrops, the mixed shrieks blending together into a roar that sounded like a cold laugh.
However, the boy swept away a "flea" that was about to land on Tang's head with a single shot. Feng Xu stopped and turned around, took a deep breath, and landed on the ground with both palms after the whole team had passed him.
It was as if several purple dragons were released from his palm, and a thunder pool rose on the ground. Within the thunder pool, swarms of insects seemed to be frozen in place, and then trembled incessantly!
The tremors are far from over.
The gentle breeze created a 10-meter-wide chasm between the insect swarm and the fleeing crowd, providing a safe haven where the helicopter's rotating turret spewed flames.
The flames did not reach the ground, but the 6,000 small shells with a diameter of 23 mm were truly rained down without any obstruction!
Not a single flea, including any of the remaining fallen insects that escaped the net, could still jump up in such a sweeping rain of steel!
The fleeing crowd slowed their pace in the face of this overwhelming force.
Qi An truly slowed down, he stopped.
In her 65% mutation state, she closed her eyes tightly, and all the noise around her was instantly suppressed in the vast, cold darkness. However, a point of color, which seemed to be the only thing that existed in the darkness, became incredibly clear.
Qi An turned and rushed toward Feng Xu, shouting a coordinate in his ear.
Feng Xu was slightly taken aback, but immediately pressed the earpiece and reported the coordinates.
A dark shadow flashed in another helicopter, which was a little higher and farther away. It was already hundreds of meters away from the battlefield. The only "flea" with that human face, or more accurately, a small "fox", was directly smashed down behind the dark shadow!
He...or she, suddenly widened his long, upturned eyes, his mouth opening and closing, as if he had angrily cursed something.
She continued to curse, but then buried her face in her soft belly.
It seems that nothing can hurt your face; you have to keep your beautiful face intact until you die!
As it was dying, that face did indeed transform into a real human face.
She is indeed beautiful, with a long face, a small mole, and pretty and charming features.
However, its body was so small and deformed, curled into a ball, and its short, hair-like tentacles involuntarily clustered together.
Her face was buried within her mutated body. In the last second before she was engulfed by the exploding fireball, it looked like a strangely colored sun from any direction.
Even the shape of the ashes is similar.
